September 1948 
Dear Friends: 
From the many varieties of Camellias I have 
available, I have selected the following which I 
like and that I think you may like. As you will 
note a number are recent introductions. 
Many of us choose our Camellias because of the 
appeal of the individual flower and overlook their 
value as a feature of the Garden or Landscape plan 
where a well shaped, evergreen plant, literally cov- 
ered with bloom is always an asset. 
Although all Camellias are suitable pot plants, 
some because of their compactness and symmetry 
are particularly adapted for growth in containers 
which may be moved to featured spots when in 
bloom. 
Camellias are generally considered slow growing 
and difficult to propagate. Because of these reasons 
many are supplied as grafted plants. This year 
I offer a number of vigorous growers on their own 
root stocks. 
As my Camellia plants are all container grown 
they may be safely shipped and planted any season 
of the year. 
If the variety you want is not listed, write me, as 
I may be able to supply you. 
Yours truly,
